With a different lighting it would have been possible to avoid the red-eye and the hard shadow.

*Salut from the Critique Club!*

I noticed this is your first challange photo. First off, welcome to DPC. Enjoy the ride, and I hope you find this site as wonderful as I do.

Now, the picture.

Excellent first challenge entry!

Few things I did notice

First, subject matter - You've chosen a nice subject. Lots of people have soft spots for the old bug (myself included) and you've not only found a nice nostalgic collection, they are in different colours as well. Definitely a neat collection, so the challenge was fulfilled quite nicely.

Now, I noticed you got quite a few comments about the date stamp. It is true that here at DPC, there is a rule that states no text on pictures. In this case, it seems to have been overlooked, but be forearned, in the future, it will not be tolerated and you're picture may be DQ'ed which is never fun.

Composition - I also noticed some of your comments regarded how centered this picture is. Next time you take pictures for a challenge, try putting your subject in different parts of the frame, not just the center, and see how it looks. The rule of thirds is a handy tool to create a dynamic to your picture without doing anything else.

I'm not sure if you did any post processing to your pictures. I would suggest tweaking the colors and sautration a bit. The colors in the picture in general are a bit flat, which detracts from the picture. Some levels or curves and a slight boost in color saturation will help make the colours more vibrant, adding more dimension to the picture.

You're off to a good start! Keep taking pictures, and if you have any question, feel free to pm me.

Cheers!

Now if the photographer had the "accident" it would meet the challenge description. But a great photo anyway, so I gotta score highly.

slug bug! where's my sister when i need her?? : )
in terms of composition, there are lots of interesting lines and angles in these cars. i think that a closer shot of them, perhaps taken at unexpected angles, could really add some visual excitement to this photo.
